I really like the music in Rising World too, one track in particular I like a lot and really sets the mood of the game.

Yes, it's very cool, very immersive, and scary at times (bears!)

Me too! I'm taking a little break waiting for the water update, been playing The Long Dark a lot, but as soon as the update drops, I'll be all over it! lol

I just love this game, and when the water update comes, I will be happy

I'll second that, for the last couple years I've been waiting for someone to make a crafting/mining game exactly like Rising World. I randomly saw it in my steam feed and bought it on the spot. Awesome game and awesome developers willing to take in suggestions!

Hello, while playing RW today I had a couple ideas. The first one has to do with chopping trees down. I love the mechanic of the tree falling, its awesome, but it seems like its random which way the tree falls. The way I gather wood is by finding a gully or ravine, then chopping the tree and letting all the logs collect at the bottom, that way I chop a bunch and then collect them at the bottom. I'm just wondering if at some point we'll be able to somewhat control which way the tree falls. Like maybe the way youre facing makes the tree fall within 30 degrees of that direction. I think it would add realism because loggers in real life can be pretty precise when felling a tree.

The next question/suggestion is about smelting. I really like not having a menu interface on the furnace, but it feels a little tedious placing and removing each ore and ingot from the small slots. The ore slots have a pretty small hitbox so sometimes it takes a minute to get the cursor in the right spot. Add to that the fact that I play with a PS3 controller (I know, I know, I'm sorry) and it starts to feel like a chore loading the furnace.
I was thinking it would feel way smoother if, instead of loading each ore slot individually, you could just put the cursor anywhere on the ore tray and press the appropriate button and it would load or unload one ore or ingot, neatly lining them in the slots one at a time. That way you keep the ability to smelt multiple ore types at once, while streamlining the loading and unloading process.
Neither of these are make or break features for me, I just thought I'd throw them out there and see what others thought.

Cheers!

Hello, I just bought Rising World 3 days ago and love it! This forum has already helped me out a number of times so I decided to sign up and say hi.

I've been a huge fan of Minecraft and if I had to estimate, I would say I have over 4000 hours of play time into it since late 2010. Rising World is poised to be an even better game judging from how good it already is in alpha.

I'm sure you all will be seeing more of me and thanks for all the helpful threads so far.

Cheers!
